Editor,
Millbrae residents and business owners: In response to the TV segment which aired May 1, 2014, ABC/KGO, It just goes to show that the mayor and City Council of Millbrae don’t care about what the business and residents want, just what they want.
The Tai Wu restaurant was allowed to be constructed without any onsite parking (violation or disregard of all building codes). The mayor stated “he would rather have a parking problem than lots of parking and no business” meaning that it is better to have business, without onsite parking. It appears that the mayor would rather see the existing businesses and customers, residents and their visitors be denied parking, so that the city could have another needless restaurant?
There was not enough parking in that area for residents and the existing businesses prior to Tai Wu being built. The city made a car rental business leave because of “trumped” up complaints that could have been easily corrected with some cooperation from both parties.
I believe one complaint was because they parked some vehicles on the streets. The TV segment showed angry residents not being able to park in front of their homes, and longtime business owners complaining that customers are unable to park in front or near their business. The city of San Mateo made the 7-Eleven store on San Mateo Drive close up because of resident complaints and a building code that the city was responsible for botching. I think Millbrae has really botched up by allowing Tai Wu restaurant to be built. That restaurant should be closed and the mayor and City Council strongly reprimanded or replaced for allowing this. Stand up for your rights.
